All of you have an exaggerated sense of my Mac-competence.  My son,
however, is a MacWhiz so I will try to get him to do it for me.

You can download the free player add-in from Microsoft or the parent website, 
you only need to purchase it if you want to edit.  Plays .avi and .wmv files 
nicely.  You will have to upgrade to QuickTime 6.1.5 or later if you don't have 
it.

Try holding down cmd-S to force it into single-user mode.  That makes
it a whole lot more chatty about what's going on.

Try holding down cmd-S to force it into single-user mode.  That makes
it a whole lot more chatty about what's going on.

i discover this morning that one of my macs doesn't boot, but just
keeps showing me the grey apple logo.  if i try to boot it in safe
mode by holding down the shift key, it just ends up giving me a circle
with a line through it.
